COMBINED ANVIL, VISE, AN'D DRILL.

Application filed June 17, 1913.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS R. STEWART, a citizen of Canada, residing at Crookston, in the county of Polk and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin a Combined Anvil, Vise, and Drill, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to combination devices and more particularly to a combined anvil, vise and drill, any one of which may be operated independent of the other, the three being so associated as to allow for the ready detachment of one from the other, minus the use of nuts and bolts, etc.

An object of the invention is a peculiar formation of drill which is detachably connected with one of the vise jaws,'and is so constructed as to allow for the adjustment of the bit by a simple operation which may be conveniently performed when desired.

Other objects as well as the nature, characteristic features and scope of my invention will be more readily understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claim forming a part of this specification.

Referring to the drawings :Figure l is a perspective view of the anvil and vise showing the same connected together; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the nut; Fig. 3 is an end view of the vise showing to advantage the opening in which the vise is secured; Fig. 1 is an elevation partly in section of the combined elements; Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the sleeve and nut embodied in the vise, the drill operating shank and handle being shown in elevation. Fig. 6 is an end view of the vise looking in the bit holding end.

In the drawings wherein is shown the preferred form of my invention a support 10 is provided on which is detachably mounted the anvil 11 through the medium of bolts or the like, the anvil being provided in the one end thereof with an opening 12 which is preferably of a circular configuration in the center and terminates in elongated cut-out portions. The anvil is provided with a recess 13 which registers with the opening 12 and in which is seated a finger 14 that is carried by one of the vise aws.

The finger 14 is an elongated piece of metal of a size which may be readily in- Specification of Letters Patent.

serted in the cut-out portion 12, and when inserted in the cut-out portion 12 is held in a horizontal plane and pushed inwardly into therecess 13 and then turned in a vertical position so as to prevent the accidental withdrawal of the vise from the anvil. A shaft 15 connects the finger 14 to one of the vise jaws 16, said jaw being provided with an aperture 17 which is formed midway the ends thereof and is adapted for engagement with the arcuate side 18 of the nut 19. The opposite jaw .20 is likewise provided with an aperture as indicated at 21 which is formed midway the ends thereof and registers with the aperture 17 of the jaws 16. The jaws l6 and 20 are hinged together at the lower end thereof in the ordinary manner, the upper ends thereof being provided with cut-out portions in which are seated steel plates 22, as it is well known that the contacting faces of the vise jaws become worn and dented by the constant clamping of metals therebetween and it is with this in view that the wear plates 23 have been provided. Each of the jaws is provided with an enlarged semi-circular cut-out portion 24 which has the face thereof serrated so as to provide teeth for engagement with pipes or like circular materials which are difficult to retain in a fixed position in view of the smooth peripheries thereof, when it is desired to cut the same or the like. Directly above the cut-out portion 24 on each of the jaws is a smaller cut-out portion or recess 25 which alines with a similar recess in the opposite jaw so as to provide smooth contacting forces and directly above the smooth recess 25 is a recess 26 having a serrated inner face similar to that of the cutout portion 21 but of a circumference much smaller.

The jaw 20 has elongated recesses 27 formed in the upper end thereof which are adapted for engagement with the legs 28 of the hand-drill 29. The hand drill 29 comprises a sleeve 30 which has the bore thereof threaded so as to engage with the nut 31 which is provided with external screwthreads for engagement with the internal threads of the sleeve 30. The nut 31 is of a length conforming to that of the sleeve 30 and has an enlarged knurled end 32 by which the nut may be readily adjusted in the sleeve 30. A smooth bore 33 is provided in the nut 31 which is for the reception of the shank or shaft 34, which is extended and bent at right-angles to the body thereof and is provided with a handle 35 on the extreme end of the angled'extension. The opposite end of the shaft 3t being provided with the usual bit mouth 36. It will be seen that by theprovision of the sleeve 30 and the nut 31, that the bit mouth 36 may be extended forwardly to any desired point above the vise jaws for the purpose of drilling metal which is held between the jaws.

In operation the anvil 11 is secured to a base as indicated at 10, in the usual manner and the vise secured thereto through the medium of the finger 14:, in a manner hereinbefore fully described. When it is desired to open the jaws 16 and 17 the same may be readily done through the medium of the handle 37 which is rigidly secured to the one end of the operating screw-bar 38, the said bar extending throughthe aperture 21 of the jaw 20 and through the aperture 17 of the jaw 16. The nut 19 being provided for engagement with the threads of the operating bar 38 so as to prevent the engagement of the jaw with the bar, for obvious reasons. The usual spiral spring 39 is sleeved on the operating rod 38 so as to normally expand the jaws when the handle 37 is operated in a reverse direction. When. it is desired to use the hand-drill 29, the same is attached to the jaw :20 through the medium of the legs 28 as before described and the bit inserted in the mouth 36 of the drill, and rotated by the actuation of thehandle 35. On application to Fig. 5 of the drawings it will be seen that when the handle 35 Gopies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the is actuated the shaft 33 will revolve in the nut 31 independent of the latter, the nut being provided merely for the purpose of feeding the bit forwardly or backwardly with respect to the sleeve 30.

It will be understood that the above description and accompanying drawings comprehend only the general and preferred embodiment of my invention and that various minor changes in details of construction, proportion and arrangement of the parts may be made within the scope of the appended claim and without sacrificing any of the advantages of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention what'l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is In combination with a pair of relatively movable jaws, one of which is provided with recesses, a device as specified including a tubular member having an enlarged portion depending from its outer periphery and bifurcated to provide parallel legs which are curved to extend beyond the plane of said member for engagement in said recesses, whereby to dispose the bore thereof at right angles to the longitudinal axes of the jaws, and a bit-mouth mounted for movement in said member adapted to receive a bit to penetrate an object held between said jaws.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
